@gg @lastrobot@mastodon.online @lastrobot@wandering.shop @pjohanneson I edit indie fiction, mostly #SpecFic and #HistFic, but also #Romance, #Horror, and #Paranormal. When I'm posting about projects, I use #AmEditing. My personal hashtags are #GUMmyStuff (grammar, usage, and mechanics) and #SpellcheckCannotSaveYou. Link to my site is in my bio. Thanks for this opportunity!

Usually, I don’t comment on people’s typos on social media.
However, in a hair group for wavy and curly folk, someone commented on wearing “space bums” in their hair, and I thought that was one of the cutest typos ever, and I had to let them know. 🚀

SECTION is not SESSION.
I'm always interested in seeing what words appear in place of other words in situations like this. Most of the time, I can understand the swap. Sometimes, though, I just . . . yeah.
TO is not DO.
Fingers move quickly. Brains even more so. Tiny words will trip you up every time. It's far easier to mistype "to" for "do" than "exhibit" for "execute.:"

GENTLEMAN is not GENTLEMEN.
Typing quickly causes all kinds of errors. Brain moves faster than fingers.
AT is not ADD.
SPITING is not SPITTING.
"Long rang" will pass right by every spelling and grammar checker out there, I suspect.
But it's not "long-range," which is what's needed in this particular instance.
